Replacing an old GPU with a new one that should be arriving today. An Anon told me that I should remove the old drivers but never got a response to my next question: Can I do it now and will I still be able to use my computer while I wait? Nothing glitchy will happen if I still have the old GPU in tact with no drivers right?

Hm, what would be the proper way to do it with an inline?

Sounds like Intel's sucking Microsoft's limp dick to try to get it hard. Good luck with your cuckold operating system.
>>53626496
Yes. Yes you did.
Do what I told you and if you get the same error it means the OS is not being mounted in the internal memory, which is usually a hardware issue.

For some reason the spell check has not been working at all, and it's become a pretty big problem because I'll occasionally make a small typo and I don't get notified of it.
I have Automatic Spell Checking enables in the tools menu, but it still doesn't work for some reason.
Clicking on the spelling and grammar option also doesn't pick anything up and immediately tells me that the check is complete.
Is there something that I need to install for this to work?

I just installed ubuntu 15.10 on my new rug but there is no way for me to connect to any network, there's no Wi-Fi symbol in the top right corner and I can't hope up to and Ethernet cable
I just replaced the stock firmware on a piece of shit router I had laying around with OpenWRT, because I want to use the router as a signal repeater, and the stock firmware didn't have the option.
Now the problem is the wireless options are all gone from the router's admin page. Apparently OpenWRT comes with wireless disabled by default (for whatever silly reason), and the wiki instructions don't work for me (https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless). Seems like the "wireless" file just doesn't exist. I'm accessing the router through telnet by the way.
Long shot, but does anyone have any experience with this and could help?
>>53626750

Are you this stupid? Do you even realize the fx-6300 is pretty much a weak 3 core?
Why are you getting a shitty budget cpu and then a cooler that costs as much as the cpu itself and a 990fx?

Got a few questions here, java related.
1) How do I make a program that take's multiples of text and then writes it to a text file. I know the basics of implementing input -> text file but I'm not sure how to set it up for repeated use; and then exception handling for invalid input.
2) How would I implement an mp3 file in my java code? I want to code an alarm that full screens, plays an mp3 at max volume, and only halts after the user inputs some requested text/answer to question.
3) What would one need to know for developing a simple text based game? It doesn't seem that hard, but I'd like to know if there's anything specific I should look out for.
>>53627394
No it was fine previously.
>>53627266
I figure this is one for this thread. I've bought this thing second hand. I'd forgotten to ask the guy how it works and figured no big deal-I'll figure it out. Wrong. I just cant get it to lock in place, no idea how. There's nothing to push or click on the outside. Any of you have any ideas? It doesn't have any branding or much of anything besides a bar code.
How do I get a girlfriend?
>>53627419
What do you mean lock in place?
Tbh it looks like a stand for a specific monitor, so if you mean height lock you might need to match the weight of that specific monitor, so you can randomly adjust it to fixed heights
>>53627367
As embarrassing as this is to admit on /g I've never really ran Linux as I haven't really needed to, how would it help me in this situation? I have a spare usb that I could put Linux on if that would help.
HELP GUYS.
Out of a sudden, chrome and all browsers on my 4.4 kitkat tablet (wifi) can't opeen http links. ( I can do a google search but can't open links ) . Chrome gives me the message " err_connection_refused".
The only recent change was me trying to see what battery savers where about so I installed du battery saver and that juice defender or something. Maybe they changed some policies or something ? I have uninstalled them without disabling first. This is not a network issue because other devices are working properly on the same network.
>>53627442
There is nothing embarrasing about it, if you dont need it then there is no reason to use it.
You will be booting a OS from a USB and not the HDD, if its the HDD the one that has problems then you shouldn't have problems at all while using a live version of linux from a USB.
>>53627470
Alright I will try that, I'll update after I've tried.
>>53627488
Just make Linux mint USB, shouldn't give you problem.

What is your budget?
Would you post your PCpartpicker link?
>>53627419
>>53627440
The top half slides up and down and springs to its default-which is the top. It stays down if you put a weight on it, but otherwise it retracts to the top. For me it doesn't make sense that it would just be adjustable like this if there wasn't a way to lock it in place.
>>53627463
Anyone ?
>>53627543
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f6KgD3
budget has been around $1000
also selling my current laptop afterwards to help offset that
>>53627544
Yeah thats the normal behavior
The springs pushed up with the same force the supposed monitor's weight would be pushing it down - so it stays wherever you adjust it to because the two forces are exactly the same unless you add to it.
If the monitor you are attaching to it is too light and the stand still brings it to the top on its own, you can find the correct weight and weigh it down, if you put the monitor on it and the spring is too weak to bring it up, afraid its useless.
Its how all Dell stands work and most others too.
>>53627526
That GPU only has 3.5GB. Don't get it.
I've dabbled around with customizing firefox with stylish but how can I actually find out the selectors for the individual elements? Is there something like an inspector but for firefox itself? Or somewhere I can look it up?

And thats it.
Changed the 850 EVO 120GB for 240GB and a a PSU that is better.
Golden rule when building a PC, never cheap out in your PSU.
120GB is nothing for a OS SSD, you would fill it really fast.
People will laugh at you for getting a GTX 970 but the card works for its price.
And thats it, it just $50 more expensive.
>>53626542
freemake audio converter does it all in one step. put the links in, set join files to on, and choose your format. If you do this regularly, it's a nice little thing to have.

Instead of going to the same website day after day to check if there are any updates, isn't there a technology that will alert me for when there is an update? Some websites have an update once in a blue moon, while some others have frequent updates - but I'm only interested in some of them.

So, what is the recommended version of Windows?

I have 8.1 and still would recommend 7.
>>53627870
8.1, 8.0 or 7.
i prefer 8.0 and 8.1, since they perform faster than 7.
>>53627870
yeah 7 is the last viable windows with the best compatibility for software without the telemetry spyware nonsense, all you got to do is remove some of the more recent updates and your good to go.

Hi. I have an old-ish Samsung slide phone, and I'd love to be able to mount storage using Linux. Through USB, there is no storage device detected on /dev, but I know the node is 12. As a note, on a Windows OS, it doesn't detect either. Is there anything I could do? Should I extract parts from the phone and force it that way, putting it back together afterwards?
>>53627870
7 For desktop and 8.1 for laptops/tablets.

Open up bakamplayer.ini and find "mpv": { add the line "ytdl-format": "bestvideo+bestaudio" before the ending bracket. Make sure to add a comma to the end of the previous line.

I'm running Windows 10 Home on two computers that are on the same network. I want to use HWinfo to monitor one computer and have it show up on the other computer. When I go to the Remote Center and enter in the IPv4 address of the computer that I want to connect to, it doesn't connect (or if it does, I'm just not patient enough, but I waited at least 3 minutes for it to connect which should be more than enough).

Which mouse pad should I get? I don't particularly care for all those riced out mouse pads. A little graphic would be alright. Looking for something that is sewn on the edges to prevent it from fraying. My 6 year old mouse pad is starting to look a little rough.
>>53628031
No.
Its the same but with more bloat.
>>53628059
wash it with a scrubby pad and some dish soap and let it dry
>>53628031
It manages the RAM more efficiently, especially on systems with very low RAM.
>>53628059
That depends, actually. Do you have an optical or laser mouse? Different surfaces work better with either or. In my personal experience, Steelseries qck+ is a pretty decent choice, but it's caused me issues with jittery-ness on my new mouse. Presumably because laser doesn't work well with the fibers.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but fibrous mousepads perform worse with laser, and vice versa. Optical is better on fabric, whereas laser is better on smooth surfaces.
>>53628059
steelseries-rightsize or some €2 one
>>53627999
Actually, I just checked and you can replace "bestvideo+bestaudio" with "best[height=1080]" to have it only play 1080p videos. Only downside is that it will fail to play any videos that don't have a 1080p version if you do that.
>>53628119
Cool, thanks
1440p gets kinda squished so limiting to 1080 is handy, if its any lower I can't see shit anyway so thats not a problem

No problem.
A good HDD is around $45-50 (WD Blue) or a good SSD is $80 (850 EVO 1TB).

>>53628305
Because the clock speed is only relevant if they have the same architecture. Newer processors have more refined microarchitectures, so they'll (probably) be faster even with a lower clock speed.

My bank gave me a certificate to use, so I can pay my bills online.
Why can firefox backup my certificate, so I can safely move it to a different device?
Yet, when I try to export it with the certmgr.msc, it won't allow me to export the private key; I can't export it as a .pfx.
Why? Will I be able to move it to another device without the private key and use it to gain access to my account or no?

It's probably fine. Despite what the gaymurs here will tell you, the only reason to upgrade components is if the current ones are insufficient.

Does preserving an installer matter? To give an example, let's say I have a game that I install, and rather than reinstall it at a later time, I simply zip up the folder and store it to be unzipped at a later time. Is there anything to be lost or messed by doing so? I can see on more complicated installers like Libre Office it's important to preserve things, but for games or simple applications?
i'm new to ssds, never used them, it happens that are 2 in my hands now, Kingston v300 120gb, and a Samsung 850 Evo 250gb. What do? i mean, which one i use for what? And By the way, i use a 1tb hdd for now, and what i mostly do is gaming.
>>53628581
>I simply zip up the folder and store it to be unzipped at a later time
can't do that with most applications because you will miss the registry keys associated with the software. at least on windows.
when you try to run the application it will ask you to reinstall it, so keep the installer around if you want to reinstall the software at a later point or transfer it to a different computer
>>53628585
use the samsung one for your os and your most frequently used applications and some of your games (it's more reliable than the kingston). use the kingston for the rest of your video games
>>53628585
850 EVO for OS since it will be the most reliable and faster, by a lot, 3-4 times faster.
SV300 is one cheap SSD with really low speeds that will fail eventually.

DVDISASTER: is it possible to show the exact % of errors? How?
>>53628757
I'll recommend (not trying to be rude, please do look this stuff up) searching around for your own information. I can tell you now, it's not a good idea to try and overclock an i7. That's all I'll say. Please search more information if you'd like to know more, as if I start trying to say "facts", they'll most likely be wrong - though what I said stays true, please don't try overclocking if you're not sure what you're doing with it to begin with. i5s are easily OCable. i7s (as I believe someone has stated) are a bit more unstable (a lot) when trying to OC.

>>53629269
It does sound good. However, learning your first programmin language takes longer than you think. Once you know how to program, it's easy to pick up new ones, but when i learnt my first language it took me at least 3 months before i really understood what i was doing.
Not trying to scare you off, but you should keep that in mind.

There is more to learn about XML (DTD, XML Schema, XPath, XQuery, XSLT). However, most people will probably never need to know everything about that stuff, so you're right of course.

why does ubuntu play youtube 1080p so much better than windows XP on my old PC? shouldn't it be the opposite? i think it used to be the opposite
>>53629896
could be one using h264 and the other one VP9 which your CPU can't handle.
why is the first DX12 videogame a remake of a 2006 xbox game that has Vsync forced on ?
>>53629924
whats VP9 ? im on a pentium D 3.40 GHz and pleasantly surprised by its performance on linux
>>53629896
Windows is a pile of cobbled together shit that has been growing and congealing for decades
>>53629896

>>53629947
VP9 is a video codec youtube uses.
h264 is hardware accelerated most of the times, vp9 isn't so it appears sluggish on low end hardware.
>>53629950
yeah but besides that, back when i first tried linux with ubuntu 8 the performance in youtube was so much worse in linux

I'm using h264ify now which forces h264 and I can watch videos on my celeron again.
>>53629990
you dont need heatsink but the latest Pi 3 does get pretty hot compared to its predecessors

Make a bootable DBAN USB/Disc and use it to clean the HDD, it will get rid of all files and clean the HDD.
Then just use a USB to reinstall windows.
Download the ISO from here:

Make a USB bootable with the iso with a program like rufus or unebootin.

Once done you might need network drivers, use 3DPN.
Then download 3DP Chip and install the other drivers.
Then reinstall the programs he might need.

I have a Lenovo stat PC that came with an option in bios to turn it back to factory reset, to Windows 8.1.
I've read some rootkits and the like can stay persistant if you factory reset ur pc because it uses some shit in the win32 folder to manage to reset itself.
Is this true?
Is the only option to go Linux (also, regarding this-can malware duplicate to another os if u use linux from a cd/usb/dualboot) or to buy a new Windows CD/licence and dban?

Maybe you have same problem, maybe you just need a sound driver.
>>53632785
finding what exactly is wrong with hardware usually comes down to the process of elimination if it isn't something obvious. You say you tried another card so that's not the problem, that leaves us with the psu, mobo, and maybe your installation could be corrupted in some way. If your psu has failed somehow then it is possible it could be causing trouble by the gpu not getting enough power or inconsistent power but I think that it is more likely to be the fault of the motherboard unless you have a really trash psu, You should look into online about the motherboard you have and try to find any info on something similar happening to anyone else or even just to see if it's a product that is known to have issues.
